is it wordless wednesday already?

 

Grandpa and his girls.

can i brag a bit....

on my midwife? yes, AGAIN! Lovelies, seriously. She and her team are second to none with providing mama-centered prenatal and postnatal care.  Now that they have their own space, sooooo many amazing services are being offered form breastfeeding to learning herbs to placenta encapsulation.  I am constantly in awe of my Shell Walker.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! (oh! I do know! heehee! I will post more when I can on this exciting venture).  Check out her site.  I'm going to have to convince her to make a blog button.... ;)

wordless wednesday

Lovelies, we are now parents to a first grader and a high schooler (and a preschooler and an almost 8 month old).  OMGoodness. S1 got promoted to 9th grade last night and S2 got promoted to grade 1.  I got all choked up when S1 walked out with his class.  He got a medal for having one of the best 'end of junior high/what are my goals' essays and got to read his essay at the ceremony.  He was one of two students who got to read.  This kid never ceases to amaze me.  He spoke so eloquently and his voice was so smooth that I barely recognized the young man standing up at the podium.  How could he have changed so quickly? I just brought him home from the hospital! I am still 21! ;)  We are so proud of him.  The principal approached us after the promotion ceremony and congratulated us for having such a 'fine young man.'  It's called 'keepyourfoottothebuttparentingwithloveandunderstanding' and this is what comes of it:

I have video as well, but I've got to upload it.  Probably this weekend.

Ahhhh lovelies, it's springtime in my state which means the ridiculous heat is right around the corner.  Don't get me wrong though, this time of year is the best time to be outside to enjoy the weather because we will be sitting under the cold blowing air conditioner soon! Some scenes from the backyard to let us know that spring has sprung!

It's my birthday!

yes lovelies, I am the big 35  27, no 35. I am so happy to be on this planet at this very moment.  I have an amazing family and a wonderful circle of friends.  Plus I got a dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for free just for being born YEAAAAH!  Pics tomorrow.  I am exhausted.  Yes- I know it's 9:48pm.  :P

Remember the wave of creativity/craftiness?

Well, after months of neglecting all things creative and useful, I made these! I used a pattern bought on Etsy.

Sorry about the fuzzy pics! They were taken with my less than stellar cell phone camera.  :/
